think for now simply aiming to reflect the creation of time zones back in 1884 should be a starting point? The 1884 International Meridian Conference rejected the notion of creating time zones. They considered the existing schemes and other proposals and then limited themselves to choosing the Prime Meridian and the Universal Day measured from there. They explicitly left any other local or standard times to local jurisdictions.
But it's still the right date to start from ;) It nailed down UTC for the first time ... and I think that a day will actually be 24 hours?
